venturing outside
for the days when the sidewalks are icy and your ankles need support
SOREL Tivoli V Faux Fur Lined Waterproof Boot (Women)
wool socks 🙌 more eco friendly and last a long time
Smart Wool Nordic Crew Socks
go ahead and get several of these to wear under all your cute but not warm pants
Women's HEATTECH (Leggings) | UNIQLO US
i wear these almost every day in the winter— hits the right spot between cool, durable, and weather appropriate
Women's Chelsea Boots | FREE SHIPPING
cashmere for softness (more sensory friendly) and wool for extra warmth
Vince Check Cashmere & Wool Scarf | Nordstrom
great for comfort (cashmere lining) and durability (leather exterior). i don’t have this pair specifically but would recommend
Nordstrom Cashmere Lined Leather Touchscreen Gloves
beauty/skincare
put this on last in your skincare routine to seal all the moisture in (we call it slugging and i do it morning and night)
7.0 oz Healing Ointment Tube - Aquaphor
incredible morning sunscreen layer
Biore UV Aqua Rich Hydrating Moisturizer SPF50
my dupe for the laneige lip mask— use it nightly and layer aquaphor on top
Vanilla Lip Mask
it’s so good for a moisturizer layer pre sunscreen
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel & Oil-Free Face Moisturizer
